First time in Jiuquan | Start from the museum and discover the beauty of Western Region culture
The museum is a treasure left by the ancestors for future generations. Those cultural relics are the stability of spring ploughing and autumn harvest and the ups and downs of the dynasty. They are the years of everything and the roots of the wind and frost.
Jiuquan Museum is the first comprehensive museum in Jiuquan City with the theme of urban history and culture, and it is also one of the larger comprehensive museums in Gansu Province.
After watching the Jiuquan Museum, you will have a preliminary understanding of Jiuquan. Jiuquan, as a satellite launch base, has another side.

Walking into the museum, you can see the relief of the beautiful Jiuquan. The flag is carved with the Silk Road, the wind cave, the culture, the wind power generation and other features. Here you can learn a lot about Dunhuang culture and replicas of Dunhuang grottoes.
"Dunhuang Culture"
Visiting Jiuquan Museum, as if traveling through time and space, talking with history. Each exhibit carries a profound cultural heritage, which makes people feel very emotional. Today, I am deeply moved by the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients.

"Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience"
The more interesting world, you can experience the characteristic intangible cultural heritage. The copying of scriptures, the production of mud prints, and the exploration of rubbings are particularly interesting.
The production of mud prints is based on the steps drawn by the painter in the Dunhuang murals at that time. Grind the natural mineral pigment, and then color it and paint it on the stone brick.
